1 The latest software versions can be obtained from the Downloads page (SIMPLWIN,
VTPRO-E, and TOUCHPNL Libraries) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New
users are required to register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.
2 Touchpanels with later versions of firmware may include features not mentioned in this guide.
Newer versions of this guide can be obtained from the Products page (PRODUCT
MANUALS section) or Downloads page (MANUAL Library) of Crestron’s website or
contact Crestron customer service. Firmware upgrade files can be obtained from the What’s
New page (Touchpanels section) or Downloads page (TOUCHPNL Library) of Crestron’s
website.
3 Crestron 2-Series control systems consist of the AV2, AV2 with Card Cage, CP2, CP2E,
PAC2, PAC2M, PRO2, and RACK2.
4 Filenames for 2-Series control system update files have a CUZ extension and can be obtained
from the What’s New page (Control Systems Update Files section) or Downloads page
(OPSYS Library) of Crestron’s website.
5 CNX update files are required for either CNMSX-AV/Pro or CNRACKX/-DP. Filenames for
CNX update files have a UPZ extension and ST-CP files are in one EXE or zipped UPZ file.
All can be obtained from the What’s New page (Control Systems Update Files section) or
Downloads page (OPSYS Library) of Crestron’s website. Update files are specifically
designed for certain control systems. If an update file is loaded into a control system other
Video Card for TPS/Tilt Panel Crestron TPS-VID

than the device for which it was intended, it may lockup the control system which would then
have to be returned to Crestron. Update files with an “S” designator are for the ST-CP, “V”
designator for CEN/CN-TVAV, “W” for CNRACKX/-DP, and “X” for CNMSX-AV/Pro
control systems. Control systems are able to recognize and reject incorrect update files.
However, when updating control systems, do not ignore any Crestron Viewport warning
prompts or messages.
6 These control systems do not support loading of firmware or VT Pro-e files to the TPS-series
touchpanels through the RS-232 port of the control system. In order to load these files to the
TPS touchpanel when using these control systems, either use the RS-232 port on the TPS
touchpanel or use Ethernet direct to the panel (assuming the TPS-ENET Ethernet Card is
installed).
As of the date of manufacture, this unit has been tested and found to
comply with specifications for CE marking.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Installation and Hookup
The TPS-VID is designed to be installed into a specific expansion slot in
the TPS touchpanel. The only tools required for installation are a #1
Phillips screwdriver and a grounding strap (or grounded workstation).
CAUTION: The TPS-VID and the touchpanel contain electro-static
discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Perform the following procedure
while wearing a grounding strap that is properly grounded and on a
grounded work station to avoid damaging the TPS-VID and/or the
touchpanel.
CAUTION: To prevent stripping of screw heads, threads, or mounting
holes, do not overtighten screws. Tighten only to the specification listed
in the individual step(s).
NOTE: If the angle of the touchscreen needs to be adjusted, consult
latest revision of the appropriate operations guide for instructions of how
to use the touchpanel position lock buttons. The latest version of the
operations guide can be obtained from the Products page (PRODUCT
MANUALS, Hardware section) or Downloads page (MANUAL Library)
of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New users are required to
register to obtain access to the FTP site.

NOTE: The diagrams in this procedure show a TPS-6000 touchpanel
but the steps for installation into all Isys™ tilt touchpanels is identical.
1. To prevent errors when re-connecting, label and disconnect all
cables attached to the touchpanel rear panel ports.
2. If necessary, use the touchpanel position lock buttons to adjust
the touchscreen to the maximum (most vertical/upright) angle.
3. To prevent scratching of the screen, place the touchpanel face-
down onto a padded surface.
4. With one hand, hold the touchpanel base cover in place.
5. Refer to the diagram below. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver,
loosen and remove the eight screws that secure the touchpanel
base cover.

proper expansion slot of the Isys™ tilt touchpanel in order for the TV
video to be displayed. If the card is not present, the Crestron Viewport
displays a warning message during the upload and the video window
remains blank. For details regarding video window objects, refer to the
VT Pro-e help file.
